The first programmable revenue platform

Build a billion dollar company's product in a couple of days.

ZoomInfo and Clay are billion dollar companies. Underneath, they are data, workflows, and outreach with a nice interface on top.

graph8 already runs all of that in one backend: 700M contacts, enrichment, signals, sequences, a dialer and phone numbers, landing pages, LinkedIn touches, inbox, and CRM. We handle the hard parts: the data, the deliverability, the telephony, the hosting.

You bring the idea. Describe it in the graph8 code editor, and it ships as a deployed application, with your brand and your name on it.

1

Think it

Pick the tool your team wishes it had. The prospecting app, the client portal, the call cockpit, the report nobody has time to build.

2

Build it

Describe it in plain English in the graph8 code editor, or in Claude and ChatGPT over the graph8 MCP server. graph8 writes it, wires it to the backend, and deploys it: a working application under your brand, ready for your team or your clients. No setup, nothing to install.

We handle the complexity

Everything a revenue team runs on is already in the backend.

Your app calls it. You never set up a data vendor, a phone carrier, a mail server, or a host.

700M contacts, 100M companies

Search free, with waterfall enrichment for emails and phones

Signals and intent

30B buyer signals a month, website visitors, job changes

Sequences

Email, SMS, WhatsApp, and call steps, with LinkedIn touches

Dialer and telephony

Dial four lines at once, numbers included, meetings booked on the call

Landing pages

Drafted with AI, published on brand, forms that route the lead

Inbox and web chat

Every reply and chat in one place, sorted and drafted

Appointments

Booking pages, round robins, reminders

CRM and quotes

Deals, pipeline, and quotes that send

AI agents

Agents that research, draft, call, and follow up

API, SDK, MCP, CLI

300+ endpoints and 500+ MCP tools, for the engineers who want them

Every registered builder also gets graph8 MCP Unlimited free until 30 November. Nothing converts to a paid plan on its own. graph8 for developers

Never written code? You are exactly who this is for.

Most people in revenue have spent years working around tools built by someone else. You already know what the tool should do. That is the hard part. The code editor writes the code, graph8 runs the backend, and office hours every week get you unstuck. By 20 October you will have shipped software.

  • Nothing to install. A browser is enough.
  • Plain English in, a deployed app out.
  • Office hours every Tuesday with graph8 engineers.
  • A prize just for the best build by a non engineer.

Questions

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Describe what you want in plain English in the graph8 code editor, or in Claude or ChatGPT over the graph8 MCP server. Office hours every Tuesday help you get unstuck, and there is a prize for the best build by a non engineer.

What do I need to bring?

Nothing. A browser and a free graph8 account. The code editor, the data, the dialer, the hosting, and the deployment are all on graph8.

How does it run?

Register and start building today. Build at your own pace until Tuesday 20 October. Every team presents for ten minutes in the qualifications on Saturday 24 October, and the finalists present again on Sunday 25 October.

How big can a team be?

Any size. Solo, a pair, an agency, or a whole SDR team. Prizes go to the team.

I already built something on graph8. Can I enter it?

Yes. Enter it and show what you added during the hackathon. Post it now too: it earns credits.

Whose brand is on the app?

Yours. Name it, brand it, sell it, or keep it for your team. You own it. graph8 may show it with credit.

How do the $20,000 in prizes add up?

Cash, 12 and 6 month graph8 Team plans, and execution credits, counted at list price. The full breakdown is in the prizes section. MCP Unlimited for every builder comes on top.

How do the credits for posting work?

Post on LinkedIn or X, tag graph8, use #graph8build, and log the link on this page. Credits land within two business days until the 140,000 credit pool runs out.

Does it cost anything?

No. Entering, the account, and MCP Unlimited until 30 November are free. Nothing converts to a paid plan on its own.

What do I submit?

By Tuesday 20 October at 23:59 ET: a link to your app and a video of three minutes or less that shows it working. Your ten minute qualification slot arrives by email.

Can I send real emails and calls while I build?

Only to people who expect them, from your own domain. The judges care whether it works, not whether you emailed 5,000 strangers.

Anything else: dev@graph8.com
